1984 is a terrifying look at what could be. It was also not intended to be an instruction manual, but a look at what happens when things are taken far, far, far too far.

There are some vile comments on women: wanting to k*ll and r*pe them.

Though written in 1948 it still feels modern and discusses issues that have never been more important.
I think everyone should read this book at least once in their life, believe me, you won`t regret it.

The only part of this book that I didn't like was that I was expecting more from 'room 101' and that some parts of the book were excruciatingly slow - namely the excerpts from 'the book'.
